Hyundai TUCSON gets zero-star rating in Latin NCAP safety test
Hyundai TUCSON scores a duck in Latin NCAP test

The current-generation Hyundai TUCSON has received a zero-star safety rating in a crash test conducted by Latin NCAP (New Car Assessment Program). However, the agency claimed the car provided good protection to the neck, head, and chest of the driver and front-seat passenger. Even, the footwell area was rated stable while the bodyshell was described as steady. The latter can also withstand further loadings.

Context
Why does it matter?
  • The test mule of the Hyundai TUCSON undergoing assessment was equipped with dual front airbags, ABS, ISOFIX points, seatbelt pre-tensioner, EBD, and seat belt reminder.
  • The vehicle has received 51%, 4%, and 50% scores in adult occupant protection, child occupant protection, and pedestrian protection, respectively. When it comes to safety assist systems, the score stands at a meager 7%.
Exteriors
The car has roof rails and alloy wheels

The Hyundai TUCSON has a muscular hood, a chromed grille, sleek LED headlights with DRLs, and a wide air dam. It is flanked by roof rails, blacked-out B-pillars, ORVMs, and 18-inch alloy wheels. A shark-fin antenna, a window wiper, and wrap-around LED taillamps are available on the rear end of the SUV. Dimensions-wise, it has a wheelbase of 2,670mm.

Information
Petrol and diesel engine options are offered

The Hyundai TUCSON runs on a BS6-compliant 2.0-liter petrol engine that makes 150hp/192.2Nm or a 2.0-liter diesel mill that generates 182.4hp/400Nm. Transmission duties on the vehicle are handled by a 6-speed or an 8-speed automatic gearbox.

Interiors
The SUV gets five seats and a sunroof

The Hyundai TUCSON has a spacious 5-seater cabin, featuring a sunroof, 2-zone climate control, parking sensors, key-less entry, USB chargers, and a multifunctional steering wheel with cruise control. It houses an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment panel with support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Multiple airbags, ABS, EBD, crash sensors, and a rear-view camera ensure the safety of the passengers.

Information
Hyundai TUCSON: Pricing

In India, the Hyundai TUCSON begins at Rs. 22.69 lakh for the base GL Opt AT (petrol) model and goes up to Rs. 27.47 lakh for the range-topping GLS 4WD AT (diesel) trim (all prices, ex-showroom, New Delhi).
